"My Lord, Believe us. It's really useless." Dae Seong's Lawyer spoke in the crownd filled court room.
It's mean few minutes since the court started. At first every allegations were shown but Dae Seong's lawyer stood up and started to speaking trust usual.
"Your words is useless Mr. Lee." Both opponent lawyers continued to barking at each other.
Seong Cheol sighed and shifted on his sit a little. He clenched his fist. In his life, he didn't let any case reached until the court matters. But this time was different.
"Order! Order!" The judge yelled at the jawyer,"Mr.Lee let Miss Choi to speak." he rubbed his temples.
Miss Choi smugged at Mr. Lee and started to spoke,"As I presented the basic demands of sex workers. And how they're harassed." she fixed her specs with her finger,"I want to invite a witness on the witness stand. May I?" she asked the Lawyer.
A girl walked through the crowd. And it was Yun Hee. Wearing a white gawn. Dae Seong raised his eye brows.
She stood on the witness stand tall. Miss Choi smiled and walked near her. Took her hand in her hold and squeezed a little to assure her. Yun hee nodded and smile slightly.
"Tell us your experience." Miss Choi said. Yun Hee took a breath and started,"I am Yun Hee. When I was only fourteen, I sold to that place." She paused then again started,"M... My twenty six years boyfriend did this."
Mr. Lee tsked,"At the first place, it was your fault. No one tell you to sleep with that boyfriend of yours. You're the characterless. And this case is against Dae Seong sir so please----" He cutted off by judge,"DID I TELL YOU TO SPOKE!" he yelled. Mr. Lee rolled his eyes.
Miss Choi glare at him but immediately turned at Yun Hee,"Come on..."
Yun hee's eyes was teary a little. But suddenly she snapped,"AM I CHARACTERLESS HUH?! That boyfriend lured me. I was barely can understand anything. And your Dae Seong?!" She pointed her index finger on the Dae Seong,"Every night, he used came and forced us! One of his bodyguard! Called Lee Jung! He had HIV!" She wipped her tears,"Because of him, I also have HIV now." She glared at Mr. Lee,"See! You have same surname! You characterless!" She spat.
Mr. Lee just blinked and ignored. Yun hee clenched the fists. Judge nodded and asked,"Is it true?"
Dae Seong swallowed. Lee Jung was sitting behind him. He almost forgot. Miss Choi smirked,"Sir, behind him that man is Lee Jung."
Dae Seong freezed. But calm his facade and stood up,"He has no HIV." he cleared his throat.
Miss Choi raised her eyebrows,"We will see. May I call him in guilty stand?" she asked. Judge nodded.
Jung nervously walked to the guilty stand and stand on it. Miss Choi came near the Guilty stand,"Lift your shirt." she said flatly.
Mr. Lee immediately opposed,"It's harrassment, My Lord!"
Miss Choi just show him her palm to shut him up. And she herself lift the shirt,"Look at his torso. Red rashes but it's not iching. I think it's enough to prove he has HIV."
Judge frowned. The room filled with whispers and murmurs. Judge's eyes went on the last row of people. Where he saw Hwan sitting between Tae Yun and Kyung. He was staring at him (Judge). Staring at his soul, his brain. He was aware of Hwan. He swallowed.
"Case will be going on. But for on Dad Seong will be arrested." He tapped his justice hammer on the wood two times.
Dae Seong's eyes widened as the judge said that.
"My Lord! That's unfair!" Mr. Lee opposed but the Jugde stood up and went out of the room.
Dae Seong looked down and clenched his fists.

"Thank you so much, Hyeona." Tae Yun took miss Choi's hand in his hands. He was shaking the hand in grateful manner.
Knock. Knock.
They both looked at the doorframe of her office. Found Hwan was standing there. Didn't bother to tell anything, he came in,"Thank you, so much Miss Choi Hyeona."
He smiled slightly and expand his hand for the handshake, Hyeona smiled and accepted,"We'll win." Hwan assured. Tae Yun went out for a moment for something.
Hyeona's expression changed a little,"So, you're the one?" Hwan raised his eyebrows,"What?"
"Whom Tae Yun loves." She blankly spoke. Hwan's eyes hitched slightly. He broke the eye contact. Hyeona sighed,"I'm not trying to portrayed you as evil. But.... Stay away from him."
Hwan looked up, Hyeona continued,"He deserves better. A man who didn't even kiss anyone before you. Who doesn't deserve a prostitute." Her tone was sarscamtic.
Hwan smiled a little,"I know. And I told him. But he didn't listened. He really has courage, Miss Choi." he sighed, and looked at window. His face shined by the evening orange sun light. He slowly walked towards the window and looked at the sky,"I did so much business of love. But Love someone once." his eyes was teary after so many time,"But The door is still open for him, Hyeona." he looked down and took a shaky breath,"The power is the thing which I have. But internally I'm nothing. Because it's maybe my fate to be alone."
Hyeona looked down. And clenched her fists,"You shouldn't dreamed of him then?"
Hwan suddenly looked at her with his teary blood shot eyes,"Listen, Hyeona. He have time to go back still. But if he don't. Then I will not let him go from me, Hyeona." he walked near her. A unspoken war was present in their eyes,"You also love him, isn't it?"
Hyeona looked into his eyes,"Yes." both of their eyes sharpened. But after a while they both smiled,"I just want him to be happy, Hwan. Don't get me wrong." Hyeona said.
Hwan's eyes crinkled,"I think we should be besties instead of love rival."
Hyeona smiled and nodded.
